Leah's Lakehouse offers a breathtaking view of Flint Lake from the house, deck, patio and yard. With depths as deep as 75 feet, this 90 acre, all natural, spring fed lake offers phenomenal fishing year round!
Being recently remodeled and renovated, you will experience all the modern conveniences of a new home coupled with the quaint charm of a country lakehouse.
Fisherman come from all over to fish Flint Lake. The fishing, especially bass fishing, has been incredible this season. There are also northern, perch, catfish and other fish in the lake.

About the host
Hosted by Leah

My name is Leah and my family and I have been renting our Lakehouse through VRBO for the past 6 years. We absolutely love hosting!!
I love to travel and I love animals. Warm summer nights are my favorite but I also love to go skiing in the winter.

Why they chose this property
My lakehouse is very special to my family. We work together to make sure our guests have the best possible trips. We will do everything we can to make you feel at home!
What makes this property unique
My lakehouse is very unique because we include a 2018 18ft Sun Tracker Pontoon with rentals from Spring-Fall. Due to insurance, my dad has to show guests how to properly operate the pontoon and have them fill out a few pages of paper work. He loves meeting new people and showing them our property!!
